Hi all, I have spoke to and got the go ahead to use the wood :deal: , it is small in lots of ways but he has a bit of farm land connected to it. The site is only a short distance from the farm house so I would like to keep the numbers small say about four the first time we use it and take it from there.

The only thing we need to do now is set a date, problem as Rappleby knows is me finding the time but I plan to do a test drive within the next month or so, I'll keep you posted.

D :lmao:

if you can give me some details (map ref's)i will check them out next time i'm up that way!

Hi Rap
sorry took so long, had to buy a map, skint and all that. references are TF683293 for the roundabout and woods where the muntjack are and TF647335 for Snetisham beach. was up there a few days ago and its swarming with holiday makers etc. so may be better to leave that for the winter :-0

hope all is well and have a good time at the show.
David

Ah i see, i had to search the thread but here is the other reference to your post,

hello there, yes i know leziete, it looks like a good place. one area that is good is near sandringam on the a148 - i spend some time in the woods there waiting for the muntjacks to get run over (hmm tasty) or on the wash, bit crowded this time of year though.

Exams are finally over. Ended with a three hour (in the stinking heat...) maths extension paper. I will thus be able and (very) willing for some bushcraft foray's/meets over the summer: although for the next two weeks I can only make weekends.

I've been looking forward to getting out there with all this green.

Hi leon,
i just sent you a PM,
because you are under 18 it's best you bring an adult,
for 3 reasons,
1 it covers our back as far as responsibility goes,insurance, and various child/minor saftey reasons we have nowerdays.
i know it seems patronising but i work in the business and know how easy it is to get into problems with legislation :nono:
2 i know when i was 14, my parents would have been worried about me meeting strange men in the woods! :eek:
3 free taxi service ;) (only kidding)!
yes do bring an adult, it will keep everyone happy!

but on the flip side,

we are friendly, you will learn something, and we have loads of stuff planned!
your dad (or whoever), is welcome to join in with anything we do!

you will read back on previous posts the best stuff to bring i.e.

clothes suitable for a walk in the countryside, alot of the places we go are public which means dog mess is about so don't bring brand new trainers! :yuck:

bring some drink, and food if you want.
also bring along some of your kit if you want to show us or ask questions about!
please note: no big knives or weapons
we are all in the same boat, we're all learning!
but don't feel under pressure, we'll still just be happy to meet you and your dad!
hope to see you soon!

To tell the truth there isn't much nice stuff around my way. The local wood is forestry commission plantation, so not very exciting, except in mushroom season. We could mooch along Weaver's Way for a bit to Felmingham Heath, it's not very big but it's quite nice. I haven't been up there for a while so I don't know what the gorse is like. If people are interested I could pop up on my bike and have a look and see.
